Friday Feast: Easy Open-Faced Wild Turkey Sandwiches

Two years ago, we had the chance to go turkey hunting with two forces of nature, Jessie Duff and Julie Golob. They allowed us to follow their journey from field to fork, and shared what it means to eat organic. The only thing we didn't get to experience was the deliciousness of the wild turkey sandwiches they made! But Julie did share her recipe and we are happy to share it with you! Be sure to watch the clip below!
